My daughter is scared of getting pregnant. What if the baby has something incurably wrong with it and these trash humans try to force her to have it. I call them trash humans because that is what they are. The type of trash who think they have a right to decide for everyone else. These same garbage humans get offended when anyone suggests they have to follow any rules. They are the ultimate hypocrites and if they really believe in a judgement by a god they should be terrified of it.
You had me at trash humans. Though I hesitate to even call them humans since they lack any sort of empathy.
Better to not de-humanize your opposition, that tends to lead to very bad places (like Alligator Auschwitz). They are trash humans, but they are still humans.
That's a very valid point. Time to go self reflect now I guess
I don't deny their humanity. Just point out their place is at the bottom of the moral pool.
I think it's important to remember that everyone is human. Not because of some sort of innate goodness people have, but viewing people as demonic or monstrous is, in my opinion, magical thinking and should be avoided. It's tempting to believe some people are irredeemable monsters who will never do anything good and it's tempting to believe that evilness comes from outside of humans and wages war against us, but no. People are people. I'm aware that just saying "I don't view them as humans" isn't really throwing your hands up and saying there's nothing you can do, it's correlated with that type of stuff and I think it's dangerous.
